Chapter 489: Contradictions

The queen sighed: "There is no way to do it!" As the saying goes, the tree is divided, and the people are divided. The children are older and have their own thoughts, can we still pull and drag them? The tone was quite sympathetic.

Old Madam Guo's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "That's not the reason." Therefore, I will bear this notoriety, so as not to make irresponsible remarks behind those officials' backs. ”

The queen frowned when she heard this.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help mentioning it in his heart, only to hear that Mrs. Pengcheng immediately shouted, "Isn't it!" Those officials have nothing to do after eating, staring at other people's backyards all day long, the Yellow River burst its banks in the spring of this year, and the drought in Jiaxing in the summer, they don't want to find a way to share the emperor's worries, but they are shocked by this and that all day long, it is really shameless! ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly pushed the dim sum box in his hand in front of Mrs. Peng Cheng and said, "Grandmother, haven't you always said that the rose cake in the palace is delicious?" You eat a piece of rose cake. ”

Mrs. Peng Cheng let out an "oh" and pinched a piece of rose cake with her hand, but her expression was a little timid and looked at the queen mother.

The queen sighed again and said, "What did I say about you?" Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and Ah Shen is tight-mouthed. These words were spread, but I was afraid that I would cause trouble for Peng Chengbo's Mansion again. Look at other people's Ashen, whether it is a son, grandson or daughter-in-law, there is no one who is not virtuous and virtuous, you can't learn from other people's Ashen! ”

Mrs. Pengchang did not speak.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said: "The love is deep, and the responsibility is keen." The queen doesn't have to take these things too seriously. None of those officials wanted to use the emperor's reputation to achieve their own fame. They stared at Peng Chengbo's Mansion, and that was also because Pengchengbo's Mansion was good enough, and the queen should be happy. ”

The queen mother laughed when she heard this, and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I can't help it." Then she changed the subject without wanting to talk more: "Are you still used to moving to the capital?" I heard that the second child of your family is still in the Hanlin Academy? Do you want to change places? Although the Hanlin Academy is okay, it is also too expensive. You see if you want to go out for a year or two, and be a salt transporter or something......"

Isn't this an obvious plan to let the Cheng family make some money?

Is this the Queen's Mother?

Zhou Shaojin felt that his body was steaming and sweating.

Old Madam Guo was not surprised at all, and hurriedly bowed to thank the queen mother, and said, "You also know me." Born in Jinling. grew up in Jinling, but after marrying into the Cheng family, most of the time he was in the capital. If you let me choose, I am still willing to come to the capital. You're sheltered. I can talk to Mrs. Peng Cheng about the short of the family. It's more comfortable than Jinling. Although the second child is noble, he also fits his temperament, so let him stay in Hanlin Academy for a few years now. After a few years, he is more stable, and it is not too late for me to ask my mother to give him a grace. Wanyan rejected the queen's suggestion.

The queen mother was not angry, and said with a smile: "When Fengsheng Niangniang was here, she said that you were a plan, since you have this heart, you must not be wrong." In the future, I will often come to the palace to see me. Mrs. Pengcheng, you have to go around a lot-she's a good person, easy to offend, with you watching, I don't have to worry about her all day long. ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Pengcheng and the Qiu family turned red, and Mrs. Guo even said "don't dare", and said: "Mrs. Pengcheng also has your protection, so she didn't take these interpersonal interactions to heart. Now that there is a granddaughter-in-law like Qiu's exquisite granddaughter-in-law, she doesn't have to worry about it. You can rest assured, with the Qiu clan serving by her side, nothing will happen to her. ”

The queen mother's gaze fell weakly on Qiu's body, and said with a smile: "This kid is also a good one!" Then he grabbed a handful of peanuts and gave them to Qiu, and said, "I'm talking crookedly with your grandmother and Mrs. Guo, you and Zhou go out to play!" Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin and Qiu Shi immediately stood up, bowed to the queen mother and others, exited the side hall, and rested in the tea room next to the side hall.

Qiu Shi gave half of the peanuts to Zhou Shaojin, and said: "This should be Shandong peanuts, red skin, each with three or four peanuts in it, although the particles are a little small, but they are delicious." You taste it! ”

Zhou Shaojin was not stingy, and gave her half of the melon seeds.

The two of them sat in the tearoom like this, eating refreshments and drinking tea, saying something inconsequential, and no one wanted to find out the intentions of Mrs. Guo and the danger in the palace now.

After about two or three cups of tea, a palace maid walked in lightly and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Chengenhou, Mrs., and Mrs. Shizi are here." ”

Qiu Shi glanced at Zhou Shaojin, and saw that Zhou Shaojin looked like a fish not moving and the water was out of tune, pursed his lips and smiled, and asked the palace maid directly: "Where did they come from?" ”

Seeing that she didn't avoid Zhou Shaojin, the palace maid said bluntly: "Come from the East Palace." ”

Qiu smiled and said, "Got it", and the palace maid quietly retreated.

"What does the fourth wife usually do at home?" Qiu continued to chat with Zhou Shaojin, "It's my daughter's birthday in a few days, if the fourth wife is free, come to the house and sit!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and responded, but he was thinking about Peng Chengbo and Chengenhou Mansion in his heart.

In his previous life, the Lin family was just a hereditary fourth-grade military attaché, but because he had an aunt who was a concubine and could speak in front of the queen mother, Lin Shisheng was a good person, so the Lin family went ahead of others. But after the Lin family couldn't compare to those famous founders, she had never heard of any contradictions between the Chengenhou Mansion and the Peng Chengbo Mansion...... Now Cheng Chi wants to investigate the tragedy of the Cheng family's murder that year, I don't know if this matter is useful to him?

No wonder Mrs. Guo scolded the Yuan family for not knowing what to say, she followed Mrs. Guo into the second palace like this, and found that there was a problem between Pengchengbo's Mansion and Chengenhou's Mansion, if she often gathered with those ladies, I am afraid she would know more.

It's just that her temperament is too introverted, and she can't go in and out of the palace like Cheng Zheng...... Thinking of this, her heart moved.

If Cheng Zheng can be pulled into this matter, will it get twice the result with half the effort?

Zhou Shaojin smiled and gossiped with Qiu. It wasn't until a palace maid came in and invited them to go to the side hall, saying that someone from the Chengenhou family came over and asked them to say hello, and the two went to the side hall side by side.

The background of the Chengenhou family is not high, before Queen Xu was entitled, their family was just a craftsman with masonry skills, and the daughter-in-law who married after was either the daughter of a powerful minister or a girl from a new official's family, and her style of behavior was not as good as that of Pengcheng Bofu - Pengcheng Bofu still knew that she wanted to marry a girl who studied and cultivated a family, but Chengenhou Mansion attached more importance to the marriage of her daughter-in-law.

Zhou Shaojin looked at the house full of women wearing gold and silver. Didn't want to talk at all.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo's eyes lit up when she looked at her. asked Mrs. Guo: "This is your little daughter-in-law?" The second girl of the Zhou family? ”

Old Madam Guo smiled and nodded, and she didn't mean to talk to them.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo looked at Zhou Shaojin with a big smile and asked Mrs. Guo: "Do you have any sisters of the right age in your little daughter-in-law's family?" My nephew is not married yet, and he doesn't ask for anything. I just want the girl's parents to be beautiful. You little daughter-in-law. It's really beautiful! ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "They are just three sisters. The eldest sister is already married, and the younger sister is only three years old this year. It's not quite suitable! ”

Mrs. Cheng Enbo sighed: "It's a pity! It's a pity! ”

Don't talk about Mrs. Guo, even the queen's face is a little bad when she hears this.

Mrs. Guo took the opportunity to retire.

Mrs. Peng Cheng also stood up.

The queen mother glanced at Mrs. Peng Cheng. said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, you will go with me to celebrate His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday!" ”

Mrs. Peng Cheng respectfully agreed.

The queen mother instructed Aunt Song to send Zhou Shaojin and Mrs. Guo out of the palace.

Zhou Shaojin followed behind Mrs. Guo and saw Mrs. Guo quietly stuffing a purse into Aunt Song, who was beside her.

Aunt Song was not polite, smiled and talked to Mrs. Guo, and sent them to the gate of Xizhi.

Zhou Shaojin helped Mrs. Guo into the carriage, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Guo smiled: "I'm very tired!" ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded and said with a smile: "But I have gained a lot!" Grandma Naqiu's daughter celebrated her birthday in a few days and invited me over for a drink. ”

"Then go ahead!" Mrs. Guo said with a smile, "After all, our family is Shilin, and it's not good to get too close to them, but it's not good if you have no contact at all." It wouldn't be a bad thing if you juniors could come together. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded. Thinking that if she didn't want to find out about the Cheng family in her previous life, she was afraid that she wouldn't want to go out for a day.

When she returned to the house, she immediately wrote a letter to Cheng Chi.

After receiving Cheng Chi's reply, Chaoyangmen had been dusted, pasted a talisman, saluted the god of the stove, and was ready to celebrate the New Year.

In the letter, Cheng Chi told her that he would rush back on the 26th and 7th of the lunar month to accompany her for the New Year. If there is anything, they will talk about it when they meet.

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed, and put the letter on his chest for a long time before locking it in the rosewood box, and happily instructed the maid to change the furnishings.

Old Madam Guo had just returned from Mrs. Fengsheng's sister, the household official Shilang Zhongpeng's house, and she was surprised when she heard this: "Didn't you just sweep the dust two days ago?" Why do you have to clean the house again? ”

Biyu pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard that the fourth master will come back for the New Year!" ”

Old Madam Guo was surprised and delighted, then laughed and instructed Biyu: "You go over and help the fourth wife, don't let her be tired alone." ”

Biyu smiled and responded "yes", and Xinglin Hutong sent someone over, saying that he was going to pick up Mrs. Guo tomorrow to go there for the New Year.

Old Madam Guo smiled: "You go and tell Madam that the fourth old man will be back in a few days." I'll wait for the fourth master to come back and then go over. ”

came to ask Mrs. Guo to respond respectfully and retreated.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Cheng family on Chinese New Year's Eve was placed at Chaoyangmen.

On the 26th, Zhou Shaojin got up early in the morning and waited for Cheng Chi restlessly at home.

But until the time of the lantern, the city gate was locked, and the steward who was waiting outside the Chaoyang Gate did not see any trace of Cheng Chi.

Zhou Shaojin was extremely disappointed.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, just like the night Cheng Chi walked, the bed suddenly became big and empty, making her feel a little cold.

Friends, add more to the squeaky alliance!

Regarding Mrs. Pengcheng's generation, it is not that she is a different generation, but that Mrs. Pengcheng feels that she and Mrs. Guo are best friends, and they have been together since they were young, so they called Mrs. Guo "Ah Shen" in order to show affection.
